Premier Team vs SACS

The SACS team have just returned from a 12 day tour of Hungary, having played about 20 games, in Waterpolo's Mecca. And there are 16 of them! Kurt is now here, but Harry is not up to playing, so Nick will step in.

Quarter 1: Phillip swam off, winning it. The rest of the quarter did not go as well, finishing 4:nil down. The local team were in the right place at the right time, with accurate shooting.

Quarter 2: Mayan swam this time, but was beaten to the ball. However, the game seemed to turn here, and our boys scored 4 goals, SACS scoring only 1. 5:4 to SACS at half time.

Quarter 3: TC swam and won the ball, but the rest of the quarter went to SACS. 8 ejections later, Jeff was out on three, but we still weren't using the advantages given. 4:7 down.

Quarter 4: This quarter started with lots of pressure from our guys, who swam extremely hard. The SACS shooting began to go wild, and by the last 30 seconds, the score was level pegging on  7 all. We had possession. In that final few moments, Lachie scored the winning goal, his third for the game. Wow! 

What a turn up. And what an exciting game. There were 3 5meter shots taken by our team, 2 by SACS. What a fantastic job on defence, in particular from our stand-in goalie. Our strengths: defence and team communication. Things to work on: accuracy, and taking advantage of 6 on 5's. A nice win for the boys, and their coaches.
